Minarchy is the political theory that best jives with my #Catholic preference for subsidiarity. I simply feel no urge to take every argument out to it's full ad absurdum, which anarchy requires. Logic becomes an murky base for sound decision-making, when discussing human interaction, the further you drill it down. This causes anarchical arguments to become increasingly thin, the further out they are spun, requiring more and more logic and less and less wisdom.

But I am a person deeply bound by the knowledge in the Bible and Traditions, and the experience of my ancestors (including my philosophical ancestors, the ancient Greeks, and my spiritual ancestors, the Saints). They get a vote, in all that I do. And they didn't tend to anarchy. They sought their personal freedom through internal improvement, community, family, grace, and sacrifice, as I do.

GM and may you have a Merry Christmas. 🎄
